My wife runs several times a week year round. She has been using her phone to keep track of where she was going but it's big and heavy and didn't do a good job keeping in contact with the satellites. Also in the winter time her phone just couldn't handle the job...the GPS just stopped working or something. According to her the GPS doesn't seem to work when the sun is down. I am not sure exactly what the issue was but it was there.

Anyway she wanted a lighter, more robust solution and this was perfect. She reports that it is very easy to use and reliable. It gives her her current speed, heart rate, lap pace, distance, and a bunch of other stuff. She can easily hook it to the USB thing and use the online map stuff. All working really well.

She has taken it out in the bitter Pennsylvania winter and it works perfectly without a hitch. She says it takes about 60 seconds to find the satellites when you take it out, which is faster than many GPS's but it could always be faster. That's the only thing she would mention that she would improve if she could.

I have now had this forerunner unit for just under 2 years. Overall it is a nice product. The size is not overly large on smaller wrists and it provides the key functions that I needed for running (Pace, Heart rate, Distance). I have found the GPS to be very good with the initial signal grab taking around 1 minute. It is also a good looking watch (which is good for at least 20/sec per mile!). The light is very bright and makes it very visible in low light conditions

Now for the not as good. (1) The alligator clips used to charge the unit are very finicky and have to be attached "just so" or it will not charge or synch. The charging platform for the Forerunner 10 is much better and easier to connect (I also have a Forerunner 10). (2) The unit often freezes and needs to be rebooted. This does not happen during runs but happens generally when you are trying to synch data or just charging (and then it will not charge which you find out right before you want to head out on a run.......) (3) The unit does not have an auto pause feature which would be handy running in a metro environment where streetlights are a constant stop/go driver. I did contact Garmin regarding the units frequency of freezing and they halfheartedly gave me some things to try but seemed to indicate that was part of normal operation and instructed me on the reboot process..... (4) While this does have the ability to be used for riding, it is cumbersome at best.

As I said, overall it is a nice product however I think the competition (including internal competition) has overtaken this unit. The Forerunner 15 seems to be replacing this unit at a better price point and has all the same features. I would look to that before purchasing this unit again.

I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting myself into with this watch--I knew what I wanted, but based on the reviews of several different makes/models of your GPS sport watch, I wasn't sure which to make a hefty purchase on, so buying the Garmin felt sort of like a shot in the dark. "I can always return in," I said to myself, pressing the "confirm check-out" button.

This watch tracks distance, speed/pace, total time, heart rate (with the heart rate monitor), and also displays the standard "date & time" as a typical watch would.

The buttons/controls for moving through the watch's features are practically flawless! Usually, I have problems trying to find things and get lost in those pesky watch menus, the directions are typically unclear, and usually nothing ever works the way it's supposed to. But the Garmin 110 is seamless, even while running I was pleased to realize that it was easy to switch between the time I had spent running and my heart rate.

I like the idea of being able to upload the info to a website for storage; with that in mind, only having ~180 hours of storage space on the watch itself isn't a huge deal to me. I tend to look at overall trends, anyway, so having a website that neatly compiles almost every bit of data for you to look at is really amazing. It also lets you make courses and whatnot straight from the website.

My only worry about this watch is the way it tracks calories; according to MyRunKeeper, I burn almost 150+ more calories than what the watch says. I've also used several online calorie-burn calculators to see what I might burn, and their results are closer to what MyRunKeeper suggests. I know that machines tend to be a little careless when it comes to giving calorie expenditure, and incorporating heart rate into the equation might give a more accurate result, but I'm not sure. I'd LIKE to believe I'm burning more calories, but I suppose I should instead focus my attention to my actual runs. Because, at the end of the day, as long as I'm eating healthy and fueling myself properly, calories aren't as big of a concern as most people make them out to be.

Also, my chest isn't all that big, so I had to make the heart rate monitor strap as small as it could go and it was still a bit insecure, so I pulled my sports bra and under cami (that has another built-in sports bra) over it to keep it secure. But the end of my run, I had forgotten it was even there! Although, I did find breathing a bit more challenging, simply because I tended to want to breath with my upper lungs in order to not let the HRM slip (even though it couldn't really, since my shirts/bras are keeping it in place), so I had to pay a bit more attention to using my lower lungs. BUT, I soon adjusted to it and it wasn't a source of irritation for very long.

ANYWAY, I only gave this 4 stars simply because I believe there's ALWAYS room for improvement; I could have a $600 Suunto watch and still find some sort of flaw/distraction with it. But for all intents and purposes, this watch is really worth the comparatively small amount of money it's valued at and is very reliable!
